PACE is a method of improving one’s ability to process and use sensory information to function well in everyday life. It is scientifically based and asserts that training procedures can change and improve the mind and its mental structure by retraining mental skills and processes.

These skills are retrained through a series of tasks that are designed to meet specific goals. The tasks are related, make repetitive demands on a deficient skill, and progressively increase in difficulty. This is a process-specific approach to training (as opposed to a general stimulation approach).

PACE works to modify mental skills, and there are numerous studies that show this modification is possible. To review just a sample of these studies supporting the fact that a wide range of mental skills can be - and have been - improved.

Under studies we include the study results of the PACE program to date. The results not only show tremendous changes in processing skills (a 3.6 year improvement in 10 weeks), but also a significant transfer to higher mental skills (reasoning and logic - a 23-point gain in IQ).

PACE Training Sessions

PACE consists of 36 one-hour sessions that are provided on a one-on-one basis over twelve weeks. For most of the 60 minutes, the pace is fast and intense. The trainers provide constant feedback as the student progresses through sequenced levels (Our intro DVD, that you can request, demonstrates five of our procedures).

Each procedure is graded according to difficulty and tasks become progressively more complex. Pace is regulated by mastery, so the number of tasks completed during training differ from student to student. In other words, once the student passes a task, he or she is then allowed to progress to the next challenge (and more difficult task).

OUR GOALS

At Enhanced Learning Skills for Kids, we focus our efforts around helping teachers, students and families.  We believe our program helps to fill the gap between home and school.  Where the child has weak learning skills and the teachers and family must help the child to compensate and teach the child how to compensate themselves, PACE strengthens those weak skills helping the child become self-empowered, independent and most importantly, able to internalize, understand and retain without compensating.  The child is able to participate better in the overall learning process.  The learning in school is generalized outside the classroom and home.   The long term goal of PACE is helping the child become successful in any grade level in school to invest in the child's life opportunities.  

	To provide a solid foundation of learning skills that will empower students.
	To improve student success academically.
	To increase student participation in the overall learning process.
	To increase a student's self-esteem and confidence through self-discovery of one's own potential.
